Peloni:  This is the long awaited sequal to the mystery surrounding the USPS truck filled with ballots which went missing on the eve of the 2024.  Patrick Byrne has been pursuing this topic for literally years now and for his efforts his organization has recently succeeded in being granted a hearing regarding the role of the USPS in the 2024 election.  The reality is, however, that the election stands at just a few weeks out and the likelihood of this case having any bearing on the current election would seem to be quite doubtful.  Byrne recognizes this fact, but still asserts that given the implications of the USPS’ position in the election, the judge should order “radical transparency on everything ballot related”.  To be honest, I am less convinced than Byrne that this will be forthcoming, and in particular from a District Judge in Maryland of all places.  But we will see.

Peloni:  The reality here is clear.  UNIFIL, and the UN by extension and action, are aligned with the barbarians in this war.  What is more is that the US and England are threatening arms embargos against Israel while threatening and enacting sanctions on Israel alone.  The cynicism and the maliciousness which are guiding these world powers towards supporting the perpetrators of October 7 can not be ignored and should not be misunderstood.  The barbarians are no longer at the gates, as it were, for they are instead leading the nations of the world to champion outright infamy.

and linneaus tweeted the following:

A prime example of UNIFIL compromising its neutrality can be found in its public statement made through its social media channels at approximately 17:00 local time detailing IDF troop movements, timeframes, force composition and otherwise granular battlefield intelligence on IDF military operations.

While UNIFIL’s mandate includes its obligation to report violations of UNSCR 1701 and preserve the safety of peacekeepers, the level of detail provided about IDF activities in an active combat situation can be viewed as a manipulation of its mandate to advantage one side, compromising the IDF’s operational security and derogating from neutrality.

With Hassan Nasrallah gone, Hezbollah reeling and Iran’s grip weakening, the Lebanese have started crawling out of the woodwork. On Monday, a few oligarchs and a bloc of 31 lawmakers, out of 128, called for Lebanon’s war to be untied from the conflict in Gaza, for the enforcement of the constitution and UN Security Council resolutions that call for the disarming of Hezbollah, and for the revival of the 1949 truce between Lebanon and Israel. However, no change in Lebanese affairs can be as consequential as steering the Shiites, who have long served as the fodder for Hezbollah’s wars, away from Iran: enter Speaker Nabih Berri.

In a disconcerting display of barefaced side-stepping, evasion, and diversion of a simple interview question, Kamala Harris provided more cause for concern for those warning of the grave consequences for Israel if she should win the November election for the US presidency. 

 Treating Israel with disrespect? 

 During a lengthy interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes, Harris balked at referring to Israel’s longest-serving Prime Minister—by far the nation’s most popular political figure with Israeli voters—as a long-term ally of the?United States.

Netanyahu’s strategy focuses on achieving victory in Israel’s multifront war, aiming for long-term peace and security.

These past few weeks, replete with out-of-the-box achievements and counter-conventional initiatives, have opened up new ways of conceiving what Israel can and should be aiming to achieve in the multifront war that has been thrust upon it.

For most of the past year, Israel has had to contend with defeatism, and “keep a lid on everything-ism.”  It has been told by the Americans that they support its right to defend itself (What nation does not have the right to defend itself?), but there is clearly no interest in Israel’s winning.

T. Belman. Unbelievable. What “political echelon” is he referring to? Why would Netanyahu agree to this?

IMRA comments on [Translation of the following report] 13 October 2924 21:42  Itamar Eichner, YNET

The suspension of operations in Beirut – due to a request from the political echelon, following Biden’s request

The Air Force has not attacked in Beirut for three days, due to a request from the political echelon.

This followed a conversation that took place on Wednesday between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden, during which Biden asked to limit operations in the area.

The last operation in Beirut’s southern suburb occurred in the center, where, according to reports and senior officials of the Israeli Defense Forces, a senior Hezbollah operative, who was considered the right-hand man of Hassan Nasrallah, was eliminated in the operation.

T. Belman. Ettinger is right to call for regime change in Iran but woefully wrong to refer to;

“Jordan’s pro-US Hashemite regime, ” and saying, “The toppling of the pro-US Hashemite regime would transform Jordan into a major platform of anti-US global terrorism, igniting a volcanic ripple effect in Israel, transforming its most critical and peaceful 310-mile-long Jordanian border into the most vulnerable and explosive border. ”

He is totally ignorant of the truth. Abdullah totally embraces the Muslem Brotherhood, the parent of Hamas. The King is fully behind the Oct 7th massacre. He collaborated with MBZ and Al Sisi to support the massacre.  He has invited Iranian troops in to Jordan and together they have smuggled weapons into Judea and Samaria. Under his leadership, Jordan is already ” a major platform of anti-US global terrorism” and “310-mile Jordanian border” is no longer peaceful but explosive.

He has taken this position by choice as he is trying to avoid being forced to abdicate among other things. He is our eneny, not our friend.

ByAmbassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” October 13, 2024,

The US State Department has rejected the regime-change option (which would gratify most Iranians) since 1978/79, when Iran’s Ayatollahs seized power, assisted by the State Department, which had stabbed the back of the Shah, who had been America’s Policeman in the Gulf.

Instead, the State Department has embraced the diplomatic option, which has generated hundreds of billions of dollars to the Ayatollahs – notwithstanding their systematically anti-US policies – facilitating their surge from a non-leadership regional stature in 1979 to global prominence, militarily and diplomatically in 2024. Furthermore, the diplomatic option has substantially upgraded the Ayatollahs’ support of terror entities such as Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis.

Peloni:  Avi provides an important report describing the limited opposition which is being encountered in southern Lebanon

Peloni:  UNIFIL is an overly costly institution which is currently acting to forestall Israel’s efforts to carry out the removal of hostile militants in the area, which was the mandate which UNIFIL was charged to undertake and which it has consistently refused to fulfill.  They represent a pretense of accountability by the international community to the terrorists who control Lebanon and who receive significant funding from the international community in the form of faux humanitarian aid.

FDD | October 13, 2024

Despite a mandate to maintain international peace and security, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has repeatedly failed to secure the Israel-Lebanon border and support the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to curb the terrorist organization Hezbollah. UNIFIL’s 10,000 peacekeepers from 48 countries have looked the other way as Iran-backed Hezbollah has grown to more than 45,000 fighters equipped with an estimated 150,000 rockets and missiles. Since Hamas attacked Israel from Gaza on October 7, UNIFIL has proven incapable of preventing Hezbollah from attacking Israel from Lebanon with rockets, guided missiles, and drones.

Corruption and Bias Have Reduced the UN to Irrelevance

by Con Coughlin  •  Gatestone Institute • October 13, 2024

Accusations that the United Nations funded Hamas’s terrorist infrastructure by transferring $1.3 billion to the organisation, some of which was used to finance the purchase of weapons used in last year’s October 7 attacks, will only add to the view that the UN is no longer fit to fulfil the role for which it was originally intended.

• Gavriel Mairone, the attorney who is representing the plaintiffs, argues that these shocking allegations demonstrate that, for more than a decade, UNRWA’s aid distribution network was involved in widespread fraud and corruption. The lawsuit claims this scheme not only enriched Hamas but also funded terrorism, playing a pivotal role in the October 7 attacks.

Preempt what you can’t sufficiently defend.

J.E. Dyer, a retired Naval Intelligence officer, blogs as The Optimistic Conservative, October 10, 2024

The flag of Israel, raised on 8 October 2024, flies over the Lebanese town of Maroun al-Ras, from which many rockets have been launched into Israel since 7 October 2023.  Via X (Twitter).

The short summary of where we are in the war of Iran’s proxies on Israel is as follows.

Israel continues to degrade Hezbollah and force its concentrations out of southern Lebanon.  This involves IDF ground operations, and air strikes (tactical aircraft, drones, and missiles) in Lebanon and Syria.  Israel continues to clear Hamas out of Gaza, largely with ground operations now, and supported by air activity where needed.
